So are the statements he made the type of communication we can expect from the Mayors office now. It is nice that Sly now has someone to talk for him as that is one of his weak points. His inability to discuss some topics without getting arrogant and intimidating will now go away. A mouthpiece with a mouthpiece.

The Dover Strategy Group has really cashed in since it found Sly as a client.Campaigns, staff positions, and so much more.What's the current budget of the mayor's office up to now?And the size of the staff in contrast to prior administrations?No wonder the city can't afford more cops.
